Plant Root

Plant Root is an academic journal focused on the biological study of plant roots and their relation to the rhizosphere environment. The journal is dedicated to publishing original papers covering multiple levels of plant root anatomy, morphology, cell and molecular biology. These papers address key issues such as structural and functional relationships of roots, mechanisms of root development, dynamics of rhizosphere microbial communities and their interactions with plant health, and water and nutrient uptake and utilization efficiency of roots.

In addition, emphasis is placed on the interactions between plant roots and soil resources, including the dynamic exchange of water and nutrients. The researchers explored how roots affect soil structure and how rhizosphere microbes help plants optimize nutrient uptake and enhance stress resistance. The journal also looks at the complex relationships between roots and symbionts, such as mycorrhizal fungi, as well as pathogens, revealing how these biological interactions affect plant growth and health.
